Antique French portrait of a gentleman in uniform.
French, dated 1900-10.
Signed by the artist but tricky to decipher signature.
Oil on board. Gilt frame.
Some info on his outfit (from ChatGPT):
"The man in the painting is wearing clothing reminiscent of late medieval or early Renaissance European fashion, possibly from the 15th to early 16th century. Here’s a breakdown of his outfit:
🧥 Doublet/Tunic: He’s wearing a fitted upper garment with puffed or padded shoulders and sleeves — typical of the period. The contrasting colors (red and white with black sleeves) and the broad shoulders suggest ceremonial or noble attire.
🩳 Skirted Jerkin or Pleated Tunic Bottom: The red pleated lower part is characteristic of men’s dress of that era — essentially a short skirt-like extension of the tunic or a separate garment worn over hose (tight-fitting leg coverings).
🧤 Gloves: The pale gloves are a sign of refinement and status.
💎 Chain of Office or Decorative Necklace: The gold chain with what appear to be jewels or ornaments indicates wealth or official rank — possibly a courtier or civic official.
🎩 Hat: The tall, soft-crowned hat with a brim and ornament (perhaps a jewel or brooch) was fashionable in the late 15th century.
Overall, the attire resembles that of a Renaissance-era nobleman or ceremonial figure, such as a court official, herald, or guard in a royal or municipal court, possibly French or Burgundian in style."
Size of frame: 18 x 13.25 inches;
Size of portrait: 12.5 x 8 inches;
Size of front portrait aperture: 12 x 7 inches.
Weight: 1.15 kg (allow 5 kg volumetric weight once packed).
Reasonable condition for its age - some superficial minor marks & scratches but all part of its charm and character.
Priced accordingly.
